Did anyone's baby hold their neck to one side alwa

Well, Peyton seemed to always hold her neck to oneside always... she could move her neck from side to side very good, but she seemed to always end up on that one side... I read that this could be a symptom of SIDS!!!! What really makes me mad is that a week or so before she passed my husband took her to the doctors because I thought she had an ear ache, but she ended up being congested... the nurse pract. said something to my husband like, " oh, just try to keep an eye on her since she keeps holding her neck to that oneside." what the hell does that mean??? SO I thought at her 4 month appt. I will say something to the DR., but I never got the chance... I am so mad because maybe I could have saved her... maybe I would have known something.... just wondering what anyone thought??? maybe this is a sign???/ Chrisha

Nicholas really didn't hold his head to one side either. If anything he was really good at holding his head up. We joked that he was way too little to do some of the things he could do, like push up on his arms when he had tummy time ans he could already scoot across the floor on his back, he dug his little heels in and he was off......I really miss that

Claire was really good about holding her head up too. Don't try to beat yourself up with the &quot;shoulda woulda couldas&quot;. I thought Claire's over stretching all of the time was a symptom too, but it is not.

Well, I know that our nurse pract. said something so now I have become concerned?????? I am going to ask our ped. doctor the next time we see her to see what she says... I just know that with our next kids we are going to put 2 different alarms on them so that we can avoid this situation at all possible!!!!!!

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
